Tommy Beresford visits his aunt Ada in her Old People’s Home. Ada says:
‘Everyone seems to be dying. No stamina…Weak heart, coronary thrombosis, high blood pressure, chronic bronchitis, rheumatoid arthritis – Feeble folk, all of them.’
Three weeks after their confidential chat, Tommy is phoned to say his aunt Ada died in her sleep…….Hubris or nemesis?
